October 2WW

[mammacass]

I had two days of implantation spotting! It ranged from brown to dark red. I thought it was pre-AF too, but my tests are getting darker and no more spotting!


mammacass, do you normally get spotting before AF?

Yeah last cycle I spotted on 9DPO then AF came next day. I haven't had anything more since that little bit this morning though, and have had the same very light crampiness as yesterday (which could still be AF) but no other symptoms. My temp was a bit lower today also, will see if temp goes up or down tomorrow...

I looked back at when I conceived DS3 and I had spotting my entire LP lol wasn't charting with the first 2.

Even when I was on high dose OC I would have mid cycle spotting lol

Glad your spotting has stopped mommy!

My temps are not lookin so hot. It's got me super sad over here. I guess this month just wasn't it. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10/18/4103d4ce7c8836b7937c54db02b377b0.jpg

Sorry hopper, I couldn't see a line yesterday but didn't want to put a downer on the thread as so many people could!

Lauren that's quite early for your temps to drop that significantly. How long is your lp normally? Is this a normal pattern with your temps?

Lauren try not to be discouraged. Your temps are still above coverline and the first 6 days past o temps really don't tell you anything. Ideally you'd like to see a sustained rise from then on with a possible dip anywhere from 6-10dpo ish. Alot don't see a dip either. It's simply to early for your chart to tell you anything and everyones charts look different, there's no point comparing yours to someone else's. All part of then 2ww [emoji16] lol. Give it another two or three days then post another pic :)

Sorry mammacass :(

Lauren don't worry too much, I have had bfp charts that have been low the first few days then slowly risen up. It's too early to count yourself out.

[purple]

Here is my chart for DS1, you can see it drops at the start...

Sorry mammacass xx

FF gave crosshairs for the 19th. Last nights sleep was all over the place. Dogs barking and then ds4 woke up as he has a cold aswell. Felt some funny pinchy cramps yesterday evening. Felt very much like last cycle. I'll be going to the drs today and taking ds4 aswell.

Anyone else testing soon?

Lauren, I took a big dip 3dpo this cycle too, and looking back to my successful cycle with DS1, I did then too.

Today has been a huge cheat day for me, ladies. It's DS1 third birthday and I've already eaten two huge meals plus cake, with plans for a third meal out in a bit. I'm not even trying to count calories. I had a house full of people who don't know we're planning a third baby, let alone swaying, so it was nice to just let loose and eat normally for a day. And, in other LE diet related news, because I've lost so much weight and apparently a bit of fat, two dresses that I thought were never going to fit me again zipped last night. So even if I don't get a girl out of this, I suppose I'm at least getting in better shape.

Yes 10dpo, FF says average is 11days.

I had a really weird dream last night about frogs... I looked it up and one of the meanings is fertility and dreams being fulfilled lol but lots of other meanings also. Watch AF turn up tomorrow now lol

Wow that's a bizarre dream lol or nightmare depending on your feelings towards frogs [emoji3] hope af doesn't come mammacass!

[2xblue]

So sorry mammacass, let's hope it's just early!

Has2, happy birthday to your ds1! Cute picture and your cheat day sounds delicious! :)

[netti02]

Lovely pic has2g. That cheat day sounds yummy 😉

Lol mammacass lets hope the dreaded witch stays away. I too had a dream last night. I was under the assumption i was having another boy yet when the baby was born it was a girl 😃 i hope that has some truth hehe

[hopper]

Aww has 2 your cheat day sounds lovely :) I had a cheat weekend haha! Back on the wagon this morning though :whip::whip:

mammacass sorry about the bfn BUT its still early. Hopefully AF stays away tomorrow - and for the next 9 months :pray: Love your frog dream meaning!!! :fingers: theres truth in it :luck:

AFM having AF cramps so assuming she's just around the corner. I'm reckoning she will rear her head either tomorrow or Wednesday as my average LP is 12 days and today is 11dpo. (Realised I was after counting my dpo wrong lol, DUH! +opk on the 7th so presuming that I Oed the 8th then I'm 11dpo now lol. Talk about getting ahead of myself :rofl:) DS1 has a viral infection ATM, my poor little prince is so chesty and stuffed up and sky high temperatures. I think its actually croup by the sound of his cough :worry: I can feel my throat starting to get sore, hoping I can defer the sickness til post O when it would be great for my pink sway :giggle:

Oh one last thing - would you ladies think it would sway slightly more if I lost even 1lb this month? I'm 120lbs (down around 10lbs since May but feeling like maintaining may not be enough when I've been on diet this length?) BMI is 19.5. And while I am looking over our sway I'm wondering is there anything you ladies would recommend changing/tweaking? I'm on the upper limits of LE. Doing couch potato as I just don't have the time to dedicate to the cardio - maybe I should MAKE time this month? What do you think? I was doing cardio up until about a week or so before this cycle but found I was wavering on moderate by just not fitting in the 60+ minutes as often as I should. Taking fibre and folic 1200-1600mg, DH taking low dose of cranberry and LR. Have the purple (4 day) smiley CB OPKs. Going to get the IC tests too and test daily with those this cycle. Got day 21 bw done two cycles ago and prog was 26.6, was told to come back in 2 cycles for further tests so thinking I might make that appt. Was contemplating asking for Clomid or is that a bit drastic at only our 3rd proper attempt cycle?

[Pbn3]

Hopper quick question? Have you tested again to know you're out? Also sorry to hear ds is unwell and I hope he's better soon. Will answer more in depth when ds2 in bed :)

I just tested with a pharmacy own brand dipstick test and the test was faulty. Tried another one and same thing! So annoyed! I'll have to try hold today or if AF doesn't show I'll test tomorrow morning. I have one FRER left but not too impressed with them at the moment! I'm reasonably sure I'm out though, just waiting on AF to show now! Hoping it will be as light and painless as last month!

Kept DS1 home from preschool today, his temp was way up and cough shaking his whole body, poor guy! DS2 just has his nap so DS1 and I were cuddled up watching cartoons. His temp isn't as high now and he seems a little better after getting to just lay down and chill for a bit. Now DS2 is awake and pulling and tugging at his big brother mad to play with him. The fighting is about to begin any moment! Boys will be boys I guess lol!

[Milybaby]

Hi girls :)
I'm currently 1 dpo 2nd cycle TTC girl and time is soooo long..... Already!!!
I've been on LE diet for 10 weeks + Clomid and others things. Had 1 attempt 2 days before ovulation + 3 attempts in 2 hours on ovulation day! I couldńt have just 1 attempt because I will not be on LE diet and Clomid for more than 3/4 cycles...
Xxx

[Quinn31]

Very cute pic!! Good luck everyone. Hope some people start getting bfps.

Can I ask some advice? I've been temping and both my dds have been waking up this waking me up. I have no idea if it happened last night because I'm so exhausted but when I took my temp this morning, it actually went down a bit. I had a blazing positive opk on Saturday so I would assume I would've ovulated yesterday. Plus I didn't have strong O cramps this month like usual but did have slight cramps. Could I have not ovulated?!

I'm getting clomid next month and not temping anymore because it's too hard with the babes waking up all the time. I just temp to confirm O and then stop.

[Pbn3]

Hopper sorry I didn't get back on last night. Wow that sucks about your faulty hpts! Good luck with the frer really hoping you see a solid line :) As for your sway it definitely wouldn't hurt to lose even a small amount of weight. I usually put a kilo or two on during 2ww then I'm losing it again around o. I'm also pretty much maintaining and have been for the last few cycles. If you lose too much you can risk delaying o. I wouldn't risk reintroducing cardio at this point it may sway more blue than pink. Also you'll feel worse if you start then stop again. As for the clomid depending on your doc they may not prescribe it straight off the bat, maybe see how the appointment goes and decide then whether to bring it up or not - here's hoping you wont need to!! Glad to hear ds1 is feeling better and I'm hearing you on the fighting lol! My ds1 has daycare today (he goes once a week) so looking forward to a much QUITER day [emoji3]

[Pbn3]

Hi amd welcome milybaby!

Fx for you and lol about three attempts in 2 hours on o day - that's dedication!!

Quinn I'd see what tomorrows temp is like. These things always seem to happen on the most important temping days aarrggh! I wouldn't trust your temp is completely accurate. It could also possibly be a pre o dip and you may o today? Are you still bding daily just in case?

I would definitely have an attempt today Quinn. Some of my temps have been taken after a rough night with my little one too its certainly harder.

Welcome milybaby. Fx for you

Lol hopper sounds like my house. Sick kids and then fighting 😂😂 frers certainly aren't my first choice anymore. Heres hoping for a bfp xx

4dpo. Had a terrible night with ds4. He was awake on and off the whole night with his cough tossing and turning. Dr seems to think its bronchiolitis which the the 2nd and 3rd day are always worse so today would be day 2-3. He's still having bottles and eating so im thankful for that.

Feeling pretty normal today 😂😂 temp down to 36.1 No symptoms to report. I may test Friday or even Saturday may be better at 8dpo.

Welcome millybaby! How many clomid cycles have you done?

Quinn, keep those attempts going untill you see a temp rise. Every 2nd day would be fine though if its too much pressure.

Pbn, how is your digital testing going?

I had a terrible night sleep last night. I felt like I was woken up every few hours. DS1 fell out of bed, DS2 was scared of dinosaurs under his bed! It was a hot night so I think everyone wasn't sleeping the best.

[mammacass]

Thankyou Ladies here's hoping [emoji4]

Wow sounds like most of us had a bad night lol I think I averaged about five hours sleep :(

Thanks for asking Purple I got my first flashing smiley this morning so no early o for me. I've got my fingers crossed that I don't get a solid until Friday morning now as dh is on night shift tomorrow and Thursday night and trying to get a bd in during the day will be an absolute mission :(. So hoping with everything that friday is bd day but no point worrying about it till the time comes lol.

[Pbn3]

Lauren how was your temp this morning?

[purple]

How many days of flashing smileys do you normally get.

I'm most likely going to test Friday at 10dpo... I'm already getting impatient. Maybe I will just use some ICs until then.

[Pbn3]

Anywhere from 2-5 days of flashing :)

[netti02]

Lol purple you sound like me 😂 im too impatient. Even scrutinizing my body hehe.

Ds4 is really not well. Panadol doesn't seen to be breaking the temps. Hes off his lunch bottle but did manage his morning one and morning tea.

I did manage to win a $50 gift voucher this morning 😀

When are due to O pbn?

Mum to 4 Boys awaiting her Princess

Friday or Saturday Netti hopefully the latter :)

Yay for your win! Lets hope its a sign of things to come!

It was such a shock to win fx it is

Finally his temp has gone down abit and he will have a rest

Hopper - - regarding your sway, is your DH older than 35? If so, he shouldn't be taking LR. Most people have stopped doing cranberry, but it's up to you if you think it's important.

Quinn - - I never O the day after my first +opk. Usually not till 2-3 days after when my opk has already gone negative. Good luck and keep BD'ing!

[Laurenk1424]

Hopper - - regarding your sway, is your DH older than 35? If so, he shouldn't be taking LR. Most people have stopped doing cranberry, but it's up to you if you think it's important.

Thanks essnce :) Hes 34 in a couple of weeks. I'm in two minds over the cranberry. I asked Atomic twice and she has said both times that she still thinks cran is better than OLE as the results arent there for OLE yet...I dunno. Cause every swayer seems to have their DH on OLE. If I were to switch him to OLE can I just do a straight swap? Hes tolerating the cran well but at the same time OLE does seem to be the safer (and more currently successful) of the two supps.

Two other questions - first, was thinking this month we can change it up and drop e4d with just one attempt at +opk instead. What do you ladies think? I think my smiley opk was WAY before O last two cycles and with e4d our attempts were actually the day before the +opk so seems like it was O-3 or even O-4 which when doing j&d after 5 minutes is not ideal. And are any of you using lube? The last two cycles I have had minimal natural lubrication but I don't want to cut our chances completely. We have mt Nov and Dec cycles left to attempt then need to take a 2-3 month break. While I want to sway as pink as I can I would really like to succeed at getting pg before having to take a break.

Sorry to hear so many of us are having crappy sleep. DS1 definitely has croup, poor guy. His temp was sky high yesterday, 39.1 celsius/102 ish fahrenheit. Think he sweated it out last night but I have spent the last two nights awake and on edge, ready to act. So tired today!

Oh and on my last FRER this morning it was 100% stark white BFN. I'm focused on our next attempt now and awaiting the dreaded AF (Just in time for my girls night on Saturday probably lol) Hoping for another bfp or ten to finish this thread off;)

[netti02]

Hi hopper

I think one attempt at + opk will be better than e4d. E4d certainly works if you arent using opks. I personally think I O at least 24hrs plus after first +opk. Not using lube i think i did the first cycle. But ive practically gone without as it kills sperm however some are using sperm safe ones and may be able to point you in the right direction.

As for the OLE its what i had my dh on however he has been forgetting to take them since forever 😠 atomic might be the best to ask in terms if you can make a switch straight away. I can't see why you wouldn't be able to but best to ask the people in the know 😆

Mum to 4 Boys awaiting her Princess

[Poptart32]

Sooo I have a dilemma! Yday I had a glob of EWCM which I don't usually get which prompted me to do an opk and there was a fair line. So ive tested again today at CD10 and it's a blazing positive and my urine was quite dilute. I last BD 3 days ago, and I usually O closer to 2 days following + OPK.. So do I have my attempt tonight or hang on until tomorrow!? Knowing my luck if I hang on I'll miss it [emoji35] I wish my cycles were straight forward 28 day jobs! Xx
